(LOOGOOTEE) - A Loogootee man is in Martin County jail after being charged with 10 Class-A felony counts of child molestation.

39-year-old Theron Chilton of Loogootee is currently being held on $250,000 bond in the Martin County Security Center after the arrest was made Friday at the man's home.

The charges stem from an investigation conducted by state police Detective Dana Miller since March of last year into allegations that Chilton molested an underage boy in the fall of 2007 in Martin County.

Probable cause was discovered during the investigation to lead to the ten Class-A felony charges.
